![]() Some of the English speaking students I have worked with prefer a slightly accented voice as they feel they do not get too hung up on what may be mispronunciations of the text. Lastly, I would suggest the following - although I have ZERO hard data and the following is based purely on anecdotal evidence - try an English speaking voice that has a slight accent. I had visiting professor in grad school who insisted on pronouncing "musculoskeletal system" as "musculo ske LEE tal system" - needless to say, all of us would cringe. For the most part, I have had good results with Ivona voices, but given that medical terms may contain a doctor's or scientist's name as part of the condition, it really just depends.Īlso, regional differences may have an impact on how accurate the TTS voice is perceived in speaking the text content. If you are looking at purchasing one of the higher quality voices, you may want to try and enter different terms on that web page and try out how the content is spoken. If you click on the Edit button on the top area of that panel, you will then see a few dictionary entries in which the written word is "corrected" into the spoken word. This will open a panel on the right side of the interface. It may be necessary to modify the spoken word pronunciation in the application itself.įor example, in Balabolka, you would need to go to View > Show > Panel of Dictionaries. I have found *some* of the more expensive voices can read medical/technical terms more accurately, but this is not always true. That said, I have found Balabolka supports many of the same capabilities at a much nicer price point (free!). TextAloud is another solid application to consider. ![]() Previous message: Text-to-speech for medical terminology.Text-to-speech for medical terminology Sean Keegan skeegan at

Follow standards in the initial build and then fix it in Internet Explorer - that's the flow. He'll Place a "Best If Viewed in." Message on Your WebsiteĪny real Web Developer knows that he doesn't make the rules. You'll add an ugly relic of the early internet on my site so that my competitors have an idea of my web stats? Sweet! Counters make a website look as unprofessional as possible - don't use them. Keep your tools, especially HTML, to yourself - the customer doesn't care. A mechanic could use a banana on my car if it would fix it. Who the hell isn't? I would argue that dropping any language acronym on a customer (PHP, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, etc.) unless they ask is meaningless fluff. Translation: "I can spend dozens of hours wasting your money to create something that will take too long to load and will be skipped more times than dessert at a bad restaurant." Consistency and website flow are important to web design - not meaningless animations that waste visitors' time and your money.

Your website is a launch pad for your business and Poindexter McScooner is simply the man behind the curtain - keep him there. You've paid this person to create a marketing tool for you - not a billboard for him.

There are some definitive characteristics about my customers' previous web persons and without further adieu, I give you 9 signs you shouldn't hire THAT web guy.

My employer specializes in creating websites for middle-sized businesses. This flywheel has successfully subsidized costs for early miners who helped build out the network in the early days. The principal breakthrough for Helium is the crypto-economic flywheel described in this essay. There are enough deployments that people have even formally studied them across vendors to understand what works and what doesn’t. However, the business model of deploying these networks has always been the Achilles Heel. Given the range of use cases for Helium ( dog tag trackers, IoT sensors, tile-like trackers, even better mouse traps, etc.), it’s no surprise that IoT companies have tried to deploy a network like this many times over the last decade. We believe it’s reasonable to estimate that the lower bound for hotspot costs is about $50, which would bring the payback down to 3 days even with 100,000 hotspots already on the network.Īnd so this is the economic flywheel that fuels the growth of the Helium Network: Network growth means more economies of scale for hotspot manufacturers, which drives lower costs for hotspots. If we assume the price of HNT doubles while the network grows to 100,000 hotspots, the payback period for a new hotspot becomes just 23 days. This higher price will mean better ROI for Helium hotspot owners, which will further drive network growth. We believe it is reasonable to assume the HNT price will be higher in the world of the second map as the Helium Network gains more awareness and becomes more useful. This network growth would mean the map at the end of 2021 probably look something like this: Right now the coverage map looks like this: Let’s stop to visualize what this network growth means. Assuming a flat HNT price, a new hotspot would pay for itself in about 6 weeks. What if we assume the network grows to 100,000 hotspots in 2021? Then the average hotspot would earn 1.1 HNT per day. Based on conversations with 3rd party manufacturers, we expect that hotspots will be $150 within a year. The first hotspots we purchased in 2019 were $500. This average payback period is very attractive, and that is why the network is growing so fast. Assuming that the network growth does not increase HNT price, this would mean a new hotspot will pay for itself in about 14 days on average. In short order, the network will have at least 30,000 hotspots. This means that over the next 90 days the Helium network is going to grow significantly. Since then, these manufacturers have fielded enormous inbound demand. When we started mining Helium in Austin in August 2019, hotspots could regularly mine 100 HNT per day! So how much will the average hotspot mine in the future? Let’s do the math.įollowing the passage of HIP-19 in late January, new third-party manufacturers have begun offering differentiated hardware that can serve the Helium Network. Mining HNT gets more difficult as more hotspots join the network. On average, at the current $6.92 market price for HNT, a new hotspot pays for itself in about 10 days, as shown below. Mining rates vary significantly between different hotspots based on location and quality of coverage. ![]() There is an ecosystem of hotspot manufacturers, and hotspots are available for as little as $350. There are currently approximately 22,800 hotspots on the network, meaning that the average hotspot earns 145 HNT per month, or 4.82 HNT per day. The growth of the Helium Network is driven by a positive feedback loop or flywheel. The Helium community recently approved new hardware manufacturers who will ship tens of thousands of hotspots within the next several months. The network’s growth has been primarily bottlenecked by hardware production. Now there are over 22,800 hotspots deployed across the world, and growth is accelerating. We invested in Helium before the network launched. Multicoin Capital co-led the Series C round in Helium Inc in 2019 along with USV. The first wireless technology supported by Helium is LoRaWAN, a popular technology for IoT devices. Helium is a new crypto-economic protocol that underpins a new business model deploying and managing wireless networks at about 100x lower cost than traditional top-down telecom business models. When you’re done, click on the stop button in the recording bar or press Windows + Alt + R to stop recording.Click on the microphone button to switch your external mic on and off (your internal mic will still be on). Either way, you’ll get a small pop-up bar with a timer and two recording controls.Alternatively, if you know that all of your options are set the way you want them, you can simply press Windows + Alt + R to start recording without going into the Game Bar.When you’re ready, click on the Record button (the one with a dot in it) to start recording.When you have a moment, take some time to experiment. For example, using the “System sounds” section of the Audio window, you can lower the audio or mute any sounds from specific apps that happen to be open. There is a number of other options that you can play with before you start recording.(You’ll still record internal audio either way.) You can click on the microphone button to enable external audio recording so you can add commentary or do a voiceover.Press the Windows key + G to open up Xbox Game Bar.Also, make sure any audio you don’t want in the recording is off, even if it’s from a different app or window - even though the screen recorder only records one window at a time, it will still record all of the audio playing across applications on the device. ![]() It may help to close or minimize other windows to avoid accidentally recording the wrong one. Open up the application window you want to record.The best thing to do is experiment ahead of time if possible. In addition, it won’t let you record your whole screen, so you can’t record your Desktop or File Explorer or a few other apps, such as Maps.

However, if you haven’t used it yet, it might be worth checking to make sure it’s working - especially before you try to record an important video. Game Bar is automatically installed in Windows 10. Meanwhile, assuming that you have a computer that is capable of using Game Bar, here’s how you do it. If that doesn’t work, there is a variety of Windows apps available (such as SnagIt) that can capture video for you. If your drivers haven’t been updated in a while, that might fix the problem. If that happens, try to update the drivers for your video card. If you want to check which video card your laptop has, open the Device Manager (by searching for “device manager” in your taskbar), and then click on “Display adapters.” Or you can simply try a test recording if your laptop’s specifications don’t allow screen recording, you’ll get a message saying so. In order to use it, your laptop’s video card must support one of three encoders (an encoder translates video input into a compatible digital format): Intel Quick Sync H.264, Nvidia NVENC, or AMD VCE encoders. ![]() The Xbox Game Bar was designed to record clips of video games, but it’s useful for any type of video capture.

Hide as an exile running from the Washuu clan, also dawned that mask of anonymity ( henohenomohenji). To name a few, Banjou’s friends, Jason, White suits, mutsuki etc In Tokyo ghoul / re: a lot of ghouls have been noted to wear masks for anonymity. Hide has been noted to be self aware of his damaged face when he returned, he wished that something could be done to make him look cute again.Had he had a brand spanking new face under, there would be no reason for him to hide it. In Japan people tend to dawn masks to prevent others from getting sick and passing along their viruses.No one else in tg or re is seen wearing a mask on the streets with the purpose of protecting their health. To answer that I had to consider a few things : The question then beckons, If Hide is able to recover what was mauled : Scars that never recovered and body altercations, not to mention the alleged scar Ken had on his body after marrying Touka, symbol of marriage that is not supposed to be healed even for a ghoul (same scar Naki and his wife should also have after having a ghoul wedding) Something I brought up in Damage assessment 2 that tricked me!Īmongst character that were healed to a miraculous extend in tgre: we have some that did not.Īs far as we the reader, are concerned, Kaneki and Amon have not returned or recovered to a fully unsullied status quo body even though the science to allegedly do so exists Juuzous beloved, recovered from a coma himselfĪkira Mado in the past was shown to have made a recovery from a critical condition using in verse ghoulish science as well.(We do not know of her scars.)Įven though we have that silhouette above that shows defined lips etc, let us not forget that before Hide’s reveal, his face in the shadows was also deceivingly shaped normally. Shirazus sister recovered from critical conditions and a coma that altered her eyes and face without a trace using.Saiko recovered from her face deforming disease (ROS).So then, let’s look at examples of characters who were able to recover from some messy situations. Ie a character in this show had facial palsy, Hide was given a voice prosthesis, Kens mom died from overworking herself, telomeres.Īlso, with the time skip coming into play in chapter 179 science has progressed due to solidarity and awareness of the medical wonders that can be manufactured, willing ghoul subjects and legal, safe setups. ![]() This work of fiction combines ailments, real life conditions and solutions with the in show superficial elements that are ghouls. How is this fees-able within this fictional universe when he was given a real life medical solution to his damaged vocal fold? Perhaps in the time skip, a doctor was able to infuse Hide with some dragon orphan cells, cut open the old wounds / remove his skin and let him regenerate, Takizawa style. The location of his voice prosthesis is clear and scar free in chapter 179.īaffling and curious.Until I recalled, this: (see Hide’s damage assessment 1 for details on the function) Not to mention that he might have had a full on laryngectomy in order for it the prosthesis to work. I expected his prosthesis to be hidden past the collar, it would be sensible for Hide to have had a type of skin recovery operation that rejuvenated his flesh wounds alone and not the actual gaping hole on his throat is… what I thought.īesides, covering up that hole his surgeon cut there for his prosthesis to function would be silly without being able to miraculously fix his damaged vocal fold, the same one that was so busted, Hide could barely get a word out before the surgery. Given that his throat and what we can see of his jaws and cheeks are brand spanking new compared to what we know it’s supposed to look like, this is a valid concept.īefore I overlay the pictures it looked as though the prosthesis could have been under the shirt, after all, the shirt covers the area above the clavicle and the collar is tight.

Drives were cost –effective too -a drive of two thousand or more cattle usually required only a trail boss and a dozen cowhands. Typically rivers and Indian lands had to be crossed, but good grazing, relatively level terrain, and higher prices waiting at the destination made the hazards worthwhile. More a corridor than a trail, the route was as much as 50 miles wide in some stretches. The trail was established in 1865 by Jesse Chisholm and ran 600 miles from San Antonio, Texas, to Abilene, Kansas. ![]() The famous Chisholm Trail became a major route. Soon others saw the wild Texas herds as a ready means to tap into the lucrative northern market with little start –up capital. McCoy established a cattle market in Abilene, Kansas in 1867, and Responding to the demand for beef, James G. In addition, a ready workforce was already in place: the de-commissioned horsemen of the Confederate cavalry plus freed ex-slaves and Mexican gauchos combined to provide a ready supply of skilled horsemen. Cattle worth four dollars a head in Texas might be sold at 40 dollars a head in Missouri or Kansas. A national preference for pork abruptly gave way to beef. Fortunately for the cattlemen, the close of the Civil War also marked a major transition in U.S. Drives toward the north began again in 1866, but with little financial gain. With the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861 –1865), the focus of Texas cattle drives shifted dramatically to feed Confederate troops in the South.Īfter the Civil War the market for Texas cattle vanished and ranchers were left holding several million head. They even extended to California to feed the gold miners following the Gold Rush of 1849. In the 1840s, most drives continued to originate in Texas, bringing beef northward to various Missouri market points. Further west, some herds were even driven from California to Oregon in the 1830s. Drives took place from Texas to the port at New Orleans. ![]() It was not until the 1830s, however, that cattle driving became a steady occupation. Cattle were driven several hundred miles from Tennessee to Virginia in the 1790s. Having little commercial value, cattle were left to roam freely in the open range, and by the early 1800s hundreds of thousands of wild longhorns populated the region.Ĭattle drives were also known in the newly established United States. By 1690 cattle were brought as far north as Texas. The cattle culture of the early American Southwest borrowed heavily from the South American and Central American cowboys, who were called "gauchos." These gauchos developed the chaps, spurs, saddles, and the techniques of horsemanship and cattle handling associated with the cowboy. As early as 1540, Spaniards established a cattle industry and began driving herds northward from central Mexico, as they looked for good pasturage. The practice was introduced to North America early during European colonization. Cattle drives moved large herds of livestock to market, to shipping points, or to find fresh pasturage. |
